It's been exactly one month since Philadelphia architect Amber Long was killed in front of her mother by a purse snatcher who shot her in the chest. NBC10's Nefertiti Jaquez talked with Long's parents about her unsolved murder.

Family and friends of Amber Long were reminded of the life the 26-year-old architect will never experience as they packed up her South Philadelphia apartment Saturday.

"She just isn't there anymore... and never will be again," said Stephanie Long, who was with her daughter when a mugger shot her to death. "I can't even think about how the holidays are gonna be, even Mother's Day."

Stephanie drove from Harrisburg and Amber's father, Troy, traveled from Pittsburgh to empty out the second-floor walk-up on Ritner Street their daughter had called home for the past three years.

About 20 people pitched in to help the mourning parents clear out the space that reminded all of them of their loss.

"It represents Amber very well," Troy said. "Because that's how much she was loved by everbody.

Amber was killed as she walked along the 900 block of Front Street in the city's Northern Liberties neighborhood with her mother on Jan. 19.
